Good morning, The Mineral Resources board came under attack on multiple fronts at its AGM after a backlash from retail shareholders who want maverick managing director Chris Ellison to stay at the helm of the company despite his involvement in tax evasion and dubious third-party deals. Meanwhile, agribusiness leader Hugh Killen - featured in The Green List: Australia's 100 Top Energy Players, published today - says millions of dollars of global capital is headed for the “safe haven” of Australia, with investors prepared to wait for years for their pay-off from “green” farming. And industry leaders say forcing the Future Fund to prioritise renewable energy projects will give developers a new avenue for funding but it will not accelerate the transition away from coal because developments remain curtailed by transmission delays and planning roadblocks. |
